My Baby Chick!

Unknown Flashbacks

Senjuro and (Y/N) were both staring at the painting with shocked expressions after discovering that this eagle demon had been asleep for nearly 115 years, during the Tokugawa period.
That had made her feel whole lost on what happened that time when she remembered being injured, but by whom?
None of them make any sense to her unless it was someone she's close to or possibly that someone possessed a blade to actually injure her which she hasn't regenerated well enough before went into sleep mode for hundred years.
"Uh...miss.. (Y/N)?" Senjuro asked shyly.
The girl faced him with a concerned look on her face, "yes?" She replied.
Senjuro twirls his fingers but was nervous about asking for this request, "Can you please return me home?" He asked but felt afraid instinctively, not by her.
(Y/N) nodded but was wondering why this boy was showing fear around him, didn't ask but will return him home since she did kinda keep him too long, plus his bandages were sealed.

Time skip
In the afternoon, in the daylight sky the eagle demon had held Senjuro in her arms rather than her back, while he was holding tight onto her. Never has he felt so high into the sky besides tree climbing once, it was unexplainable to describe. But he admired how the sky, the visible clouds that hit against him which he only felt were cold but invisible. Truly inexperience from mortals to be able to know the beauty of the magnificent skies, it is how the birds on earth were to be able to fly and feel like they were gods of the skies.
Senjuro felt his eyes teared up but wiped it a bit while still holding to the eagle demon,
'Mother... Brother..' He thought of the loved ones he missed deeply for if they were watching over him through this unknown afterlife, like guardian angels.
While (Y/N) suddenly changed her fly pattern where little Senjuro describes his home on where to locate at, she spotted a house coming up. That's probably it?
Down below, an elderly man heard something in the sky as he looked up, find strange people up in the sky. Wide under shock, rubs his eyes thinking he was seeing things.
Until they vanished.
(Y/N) set her wings flapping down to land into the ground near the gate as she found the current household. Senjuro was let go on his feet but gently by the eagle girl's arms for being cautious on how fragile mortals are.
She looked at the sign on the gate, curious as an animal while Senjuro walked towards his house meanwhile she looked at it. Doesn't seem to find it comfortable, especially smell something horrible stench through her nose. Unable to recognize what sort of smell it is, but rushes towards the flame haired boy, grabbed him by the shoulder but gentle as she growled at the door with her teeth shown fangs and her eyes shown cat slit,
"Miss (Y/N)?" He asked but worried, not understanding why she suddenly got all aggressive with her fangs bared visible.
Until he heard the door open wide, revealed his drunk father with a rage expression but had an open bottle sake in his hand, but glare at his son,
"Senjuro?! Where the fuck you been, you pitiful brat?!" He shouted at him.
The boy flinched against (Y/N), deeply did realize that his father is highly intoxicated and aggressive. He fears him right now.
Shinjuro noticed something else, he glared at the girl already transformation into human appearance....until he lost his grip of the bottle of sake which fell into the ground, glass shattered along with spilled alcohol on the floor.
He senses this girl is a demon, her senses show him how dangerous she is. Despite how she looks, this child was a bigger threat under the sunlight and not ashes.
Soon he tackled her into the ground, bringing along his son who fell into the ground. The fight had started when Shinjuro held her down into the ground, trying to overpowered her.
Until her wings reveal and push him away from her, strength much greater was only defensive for her to get this drunk man away from her.
Gets up immediately but hisses at Shinjuro that he pulled out a blade from his yukata, full of something else that had her back away.
"You brought a demon into this house, Senjuro?!" He said glaring angry at the sight of the winged demon
Senjuro lift himself up but stare widely at both of them, ready to fight against each other, "she's..she-"
"I'll finish her off!" Shinjuro begins to charge at (Y/N) fast speed, quickly she lifts herself away from the raging man then fights him, but growls loudly on what he holds in his hand that makes her slightly scared.
"Father, no! She saved my life!" Senjuro shouted worried but couldn't get into the fight while the man tried to catch her, not while she was flying higher in circles.
Shinjuro jumped high but not enough until she flew even higher making him fall hard into the ground, which she quickly flew faster and caught Senjuro into her arms, surprisingly that he held onto her like kola.
That made the father totally enraged, as he watches the flying demon leaves further away from his house.

At the Headquarters
The leader of the Corps had sat on the veranda garden and noticed something in the tense presence like the unknown, filled with innocence, determination, and something else entirely impossible.
He warmly smiled at this, just another creature that is unattached to the darkness from the man that has the world fear through the night, Kibutsuji Muzan.
"Have Giyuu Tomioka...and Shinobu Kocho here, immediately..." he said softly to his twin daughters, they nodded and headed out to find the two Hashiras for their father to meet with.

At the sky
(Y/N) was busy holding the scared boy while flying away from the dangerous man whom he called father. This made her unsure of returning him back to that house if the human father wasn't drinking too much of that disgusting drink in the bottle, then she wouldn't be so worried.
After smelling that unknown scent, it hits her sense of smell like toxic and frightening as well like bad smell.
Unlike dead animals rioting the flesh with no one buried them into the earth, that's what made her describe the scent of alcohol.
And people like Shinjuro, weren't good person to be around while raging at everything at sight. Seeing Senjuro move closer to her set the eagle demon to go into protective mode.
As her (e/c) hues spotted a distant temple, picking up the pace on her wings to flap even more speed.
Soon enough she landed safely on the porch, and Senjuro let go of her but sobbing so loudly that she was confused now.
He was so frightened by how things turned out worse and saw his father charge at them, but mostly his friend, (Y/N). He self-blames himself for bringing her to fly him home then have his drunk father nearly kill her.
"Uh...you okay?" She asked but approached him slowly while he was still crying out his tears.
He couldn't respond but cried until he felt himself wrapped into warmth feathers then soon into a hug, sniffing at what he's feeling. Safety and care.
Wipes his tears but hugs her back that he couldn't stopped tears from falling into her shoulders, how could he ever be more comfortable with her than his father or at home whenever his brother leaves for missions or meeting with the other Hashira friends of his.
Now, it almost made him feel like Kyojuro was alive again, feeling his warmth, touch of safety, positivity, love, kindness, determination and justice.
Her hugs were a lot like a loving mother protecting their child from harm, but it didn't feel like something else was expected. He didn't care but remained under her wings and arms as if no one could harm him as long she's around.
"It's okay... you'll be okay, little flame child." Her voice even sounded so calmly and loving that he remembered into his mind while feeling everything else was bright as sunlight.
(Y/N) couldn't understand what happened but felt in her instinct was to calm the boy down, it felt familiar when she too was scared, crying or hurt from somewhere?
Having Senjuro hug back felt a lot familiar, from a different person that had his spirit and his red hues that the gold colors had blinded her to notice something else.
The same red irises were similar to another person as it flashed only a faded face to her vision, an 14 year old boy but with onyx hair colored.
'Who is that?... Why is his face being covered?' (Y/N) couldn't identify who that is in the flashback. It was like blocking her from getting clear pictures of the boy.
Senjuro pulled away from the hugs as he wiped his tears slightly which broke her concentration on the subject. But moved her wings away for now.
She was glad to see him feeling better, never like seeing a gentle child crying. It breaks her heart deeply.
Then soon both of them heard soft growls from Senjuro, she looked at him and he turned red out of an embarrassed stomach growling for food.
"So... what do you like for me to cook for you?"

"Oh no, I should cook. You did enough for me."

"Nope, humans must eat first to gain strength, young flame boy!"

"No, I'm-"

"Not on my watch, Flame-o."

Taisho Era Secret
-The old man that spotted (Y/N) and Senjuro on their way back, he thought it was an angel for some reason because her appearance changed into human appearance, not a demon.

-(Y/N) doesn't have Tanjiro's sense of smell gift, it was her bird gene to smell anything threatening or food, or other kinds of animals in the forest.

-During (Y/N) hibernation sleep, her wings became stronger like shield to push her opponents away from her. That's how she was able to have Shinjuro away from her.

-Sometimes during few seasons, few of her feathers were scattered from different places she traveled. And one man had spotted an eagle's feather during his travels and picked up as sign of freedom and courage.
